- My scsi tape drive used to work ok with the original 386bsd scsi driver.
- However after installing Julian's new scsi driver the tape is found ok:
-
- aha0 reading board settings, scsidev=7 150 nSEC ok, use 200 nSEC
- **aha0 probing for scsi devices**
- dev0,lu0: type 0(direct),fixed 'NEC D5882 G01 ' scsi1
- sd0: 621MB, cyls 1633, heads 15, secs 52, bytes/sec 512
- dev4,lu0: type 1(sequential),removable 'ARCHIVE VIPER 150 21247-005' scsi1
- st0: scsi tape drive, 0 blocks of 512 bytes
- dev6,lu0: type 5(readonly),removable 'MATSHITACD-ROM CR-5XX 1.0b' scsi1
-
- The disk and CD-Rom work ok but when I try to write anything to a tape with
- 'tar cvf /dev/rst0 .' these errors are reported:
-
- st0: medium error block no. 40 (decimal)
- st0: medium error block no. 21 (decimal)
- could not write_filemarks st0
- st0: medium error block no. 40 (decimal)
- st0: medium error block no. 21 (decimal)
- could not write_filemarks st0
-
- I can read tapes ok and retrieve a file but nothing will write.
- I have tried several different used and new DC6150 and DC6250 tapes but
- still the same error.
- I'm sure it must be something simple but I just cannot figure it out.
- Anyone any ideas?
- Thanks.
